daily two cents

I am currently in the cruxes of the Jewish New Year, in between the actual New Year and day of atonement (a.k.a. the day I become the most miserable human being in the world because I am without food and COFFEE all day). So because of this, I got thinking about what are my sins and how I can improve […]

Today I drove past the place I first met Adam. If I focus my brain hard enough, I can almost remember that hot, stuffy hallway. That day when those two kids first met was so long ago. I had no idea who I was, let alone where I was going. G-d willing, Adam and I have a long journey ahead […]

My wonderful, extremely missing in action these days since he took a job in Wisconsin, husband asked to golf on Saturday. On my day “off”???? The nerve… I expect evenings where I can jet from the family chaos and occasionally have a meal with other people where there are conversations and slow consumption of food. It’s not like this happens […]

My brain has become absolute mush. You know that Tasmanian devil that spins around and around, that is my head all the time these days.

I sometimes wonder why eight years ago today nobody stood up and said “I object.” Maybe they were distracted by the domino effect of fainters (three people fainted including the bride – doh!). Anyway, who “let” a twenty-four year old get married?!? I’d like to think we were mature beyond our years, although I think that is unlikely. Especially since […]

Today we had a kindergarten play date at the school park in preparation for the big day on Thursday. The single-handed worst thing that could happen in that instance happened. No, he didn’t break an arm. No, he didn’t get in trouble. Worse than all…his feelings were hurt!!!!!!!!!! GASP! We are walking into kindergarten knowing very few people and only […]

There’s something about when I turn off the lights and it’s quiet in the house that makes my husband traveling extra hard. It’s not that I’m living in the 50s where I need my man to protect me to feel safe. It’s something about having three kids and knowing I’m the only adult. I spend a lot of the day […]

As if days spent like this, were nothing but sheer bliss… And the only exercise I was getting was when I carried my five year old up a flight of stairs for a time out (why aren’t I working out this week?? Click here). Then my husband decides to up and scoot to Cali for “work.” Was the concept of […]
